A Flat Electricity Rate for Crypto Miners
Japanese Renewable Energy Provider Offers Low Flat-Rate Electricity for Crypto MinersLooop Co. Ltd is a Tokyo-based renewable energy provider that offers natural energy products and services as well as retail electricity services. The company “was born from the volunteer activity to set up photovoltaic power in the affected area of the Great East Japan Earthquake,” its website describes. The company began operations in March 2011 with the development of “a photovoltaic power plant that can be installed by ourselves.” Other products offered include solar, wind, biomass, hydroelectric, and geothermal power systems.

One of Looop’s PowerKits.
Following the liberalization of Japan’s retail power market in April 2016, Looop entered the retail electricity market. Over 55,000 Japanese households now use Looop’s electricity services, according to IT Media.
The company recently announced a new electricity plan which is tailored to cryptocurrency miners in the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) service area. Looop calls it the “Mining Flat” rate plan. Customers can start applying for this new service this month.
Japanese Renewable Energy Provider Offers Low Flat-Rate Electricity for Crypto MinersLooop explained that customers can sign up for a “1kW equivalent contract (10A or 1kVA)” which allows usage of up to 250kWh for a fixed monthly price of 6,170 yen. They can also sign up for multiple contracts. For example, a 3kW contract will allow them to use up to 750kWh. Overages are charged at the rate of 22 yen per 1kWh.
According to an estimate by IT Media, the monthly cost of electricity for the 3kW contract is 16.9% less than what TEPCO would charge for a similar service.
Japan Embracing Bitcoin Mining
Japanese companies are increasingly embracing bitcoin mining, with a growing number of corporations entering the space. Last month, GMOInternet announced its bitcoin mining and ASIC chip manufacturing plans. The company is investing 10 billion yen to build its mining farm in Scandinavia.
Japanese Renewable Energy Provider Offers Low Flat-Rate Electricity for Crypto MinersAnother Japanese conglomerate, DMMGroup, announced in the same month that it “will operate a mass-scale, made-in-Japan quality mining farm whose operating size will be unmatched by any of the domestic operators.” According to Nikkei, DMM is also planning a 10 billion yen capital investment into its mining business.
Last week, the publication also reported on two more large companies, SBI Holdings and Monex Group, starting their own bitcoin mining operations.
Looop Director and President Shoichiro Nakamura emphasized how bitcoin mining uses a lot of electricity. He was quoted by IT Media as saying:
The high cost of electricity is a bottleneck in Japan, which makes it difficult for mining to penetrate [the market]…I would like to support domestic mining companies by offering this pricing plan.
Meanwhile, Japanese consumers can also pay their electricity bills using bitcoin. Energy retailer Remixpoint, the parent company of the bitcoin exchange Bitpoint, recently started accepting bitcoin payments for its low-voltage electricity services as well as offering discounts for customers paying with bitcoin.
What do you think of this flat rate electricity plan for miners? Do you think more Japanese will start mining bitcoin? Let us know in the comments section below.

GeoffKnox of GE Mining believes the time will soon come where renewable energy competes evenly with fossil fuels.

Based on REN21's 2014 report, renewables contributed 19 percent to humans' global energy consumption and 22 percent to their generation of electricity in 2012 and 2013, respectively. This energy consumption is divided as 9% coming from traditional biomass, 4.2% as heat energy (non-biomass), 3.8% hydro electricity and 2% is electricity from wind, solar, geothermal, and biomass. Worldwide investments in renewable technologies amounted to more than US$214 billion in 2013, with countries like China and the United States heavily investing in wind, hydro, solar and biofuels.

Renewable resource

A renewable resource is an organic natural resource which can replenish to overcome usage and consumption, either through biological reproduction or other naturally reoccurring processes. Renewable resources are a part of Earth's natural environment and the largest components of its ecosphere. A positive life cycle assessment is a key indicator of a resource's sustainability.

Definitions of renewable resources may also include agricultural production, as in sustainable agriculture and to an extent water resources. In 1962 Paul Alfred Weiss defined Renewable Resources as: "The total range of living organisms providing man with food, fibres, drugs, etc...". Another type of renewable resources is renewable energy resources. Common sources of renewable energy include solar, geothermal and wind power, which are all categorised as renewable resources.

Food and water

Water resources

Water can be considered a renewablematerial when carefully controlled usage, treatment, and release are followed. If not, it would become a non-renewable resource at that location. For example, groundwater is usually removed from an aquifer at a rate much greater than its very slow natural recharge, and so groundwater is considered non-renewable. Removal of water from the pore spaces may cause permanent compaction (subsidence) that cannot be renewed. 97.5% of the water on the Earth is salt water, and 3% is fresh water; slightly over two thirds of this is frozen in glaciers and polarice caps. The remaining unfrozen freshwater is found mainly as groundwater, with only a small fraction (0.008%) present above ground or in the air.

Energy

In physics, energy is a property of objects which can be transferred to other objects or converted into different forms, but cannot be created or destroyed. The "ability of a system to perform work" is a common description, but it is difficult to give one single comprehensive definition of energy because of its many forms. For instance, in SI units, energy is measured in joules, and one joule is defined "mechanically", being the energy transferred to an object by the mechanical work of moving it a distance of 1 metre against a force of 1 newton. However, there are many other definitions of energy, depending on the context, such as thermal energy, radiant energy, electromagnetic, nuclear, etc., where definitions are derived that are the most convenient.

California Desert to be Protected by Renewable Energy Plan

The U.S.Bureau of Land Management has issued an historic and far-reaching decision balancing conservation with renewable energy development across a vast swath of the California desert. It's called the DesertRenewable EnergyConservation Plan, or DRECP, and will permanently protect significant areas of public lands in the California desert—including the Silurian Valley, Mayan Peak, and Chuckwalla Bench.
The plan also identifies certain areas of public lands in the desert that will be available for potential renewable energy development.

*TRANSCRIPT*
Text: The Bureau of Land Management has issued an historic and far-reaching decision balancing conservation with renewable energy development across a vast swath of the California desert. It’s called the Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan, or DRECP.
PATRICK DONNELLY of the Amargosa Conservancy: “The DRECP is considered by many as a solar development plan but it also has really substantial conservation provisions in it, specifically designating NationalConservationLands. The planners of the DRECP recognized what a unique area Amargosa is; almost every acre of public land in the Amargosa region is proposed as NCL. This will help protect our critical resources, in particular places like Tacopa Marsh that provide habitat for endangered species that thrive in our area. Conservation designations under the DRECP are the single most important conservation objective that we are pursuing here in the Amargosa.
FRAZIER HANEY of the Mojave DesertLandTrust: “One of the conservation vehicles in the DRECP for public lands is to include those conserved lands inside of the National Conservation Lands. These are nationally significant lands across the West, that our national monuments, our wilderness areas, our wilderness study areas. The DRECP would include these treasured places inside of that system of national lands.
The National Conservation Land designation in the DRECP would take advantage of this opportunity that we have to protect an entire ecosystem. And, if we get it right by protecting these conservation lands, these amazing places, we protect the wildlife corridor between the Mojave and the Sonoran populations of desert tortoise. We protect key corridors for the movement of bighorn sheep. We are protecting watersheds, we protect spring sources, that all the wildlife in the desert depend on. We are protecting some of the areas that we know are critical for wildlife and the survival of wildlife that don’t have an existing layer of protection right now. When we think about the DRECP and the National Conservation Lands, we are really finishing the work that was started in 1976 by Congress when they said that the California desert was easily scared and slowly heals.
TEXT: Thank you, BLM, for directing future renewable energy projects to less sensitive areas while conserving wild places and protecting the desert’s iconic wildlife. We look forward to you ensuring these protected areas are also made off-limits to industrial mining.

Reclaiming Coal Country: From Abandoned Mines to Organic Farms

After high school, West VirginianChris Farley went to work in the coal mines. At first, it provided a decent living, but it soon became a precarious existence, as mines would frequently close. Now, instead of removing mountaintops, Farley helps bring the land back to life, transforming former coal mines into farms. Farley works for RefreshAppalachia, a project of Coalfield Development that provides opportunities to former coal miners in agriculture, entrepreneurship, renewable energy and other areas. Together with his trusty chickens, pigs, and a dedicated crew of hard-working farmers, Farley is part of a movement that’s helping rebuild the land.

Cedrus Investments: Renewable & clean energy outlook

May 2017 - Cedrus Investments, Chairman, Rani Jarkas tells The CapitalNetwork’s Director Lelde Smits at Mines and MoneyAsia, the current trends in renewable energy investments, the unique features of clean energy investments in China, his outlook for investing into renewable energy across the Asia Pacific and which countries are leading the pack.

Reclaiming Coal Country: From Abandoned Mines to Organic Farms

After high school, West VirginianChris Farley went to work in the coal mines. At first, it provided a decent living, but it soon became a precarious existence, as mines would frequently close. Now, instead of removing mountaintops, Farley helps bring the land back to life, transforming former coal mines into farms. Farley works for RefreshAppalachia, a project of Coalfield Development that provides opportunities to former coal miners in agriculture, entrepreneurship, renewable energy and other areas. Together with his trusty chickens, pigs, and a dedicated crew of hard-working farmers, Farley is part of a movement that’s helping rebuild the land.

Carbon costs -- renewables pay. Energy economics is driving hybrid systems to ensure continuity of supply but at the lowest carbon footprint. The integration of renewable energy sources with conventional sources offers the most effective hybrid solutions. Such integration leads to savings in capital investment, builds on existing processes and ensures reliability of supply. The University of AdelaideCentre for Energy Technology (CET) is accelerating the transition to a clean energy future. CET is capable of researching and delivering integrated renewable-conventional energy solutions to Australia's key industries: mining, minerals and power production, for which energy consumption is a significant cost component.

Keywords/phrases: Do you see the 14 nanometre limit of transistors as a good thing for decentralization? There's been an enormous increase in the hashing capacity of the Bitcoin network and now it's slammed into Moore's Wall.It's a very good thing because it extends the shelf-life of mining equipment from 2-3 months to almost 2 years. Until now, the determinant of success in mining was how many kilometres you were from the semiconductor fabrication lab and how fast you could hook it up to 50 megawatts of electricity. With a 2-year shelf-life, you can re-decentralize mining. Renewable energy with cycles of demand, using extra megawatt hours with low consumption that would be lost anyway to mine bitcoin. Bitcoin is a battery on a virtual blockchain.

A Flat Electricity Rate for Crypto Miners
Japanese Renewable Energy Provider Offers Low Flat-Rate Electricity for Crypto MinersLooop Co. Ltd is a Tokyo-based renewable energy provider that offers natural energy products and services as well as retail electricity services. The company “was born from the volunteer activity to set up photovoltaic power in the affected area of the Great East Japan Earthquake,” its website describes. The company began operations in March 2011 with the development of “a photovoltaic power plant that can be installed by ourselves.” Other products offered include solar, wind, biomass, hydroelectric, and geothermal power systems.
Japanese Renewable Energy Provider Offers Low Flat-Rate Electricity for Crypto Miners
One of Looop’s PowerKits.
Following the liberalization of Japan’s retail power market in April 2016, Looop entered the retail electricity market. Over 55,000 Japanese households now use Looop’s electricity services, according to IT Media.
The company recently announced a new electricity plan which is tailored to cryptocurrency miners in the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) service area. Looop calls it the “Mining Flat” rate plan. Customers can start applying for this new service this month.
Japanese Renewable Energy Provider Offers Low Flat-Rate Electricity for Crypto MinersLooop explained that customers can sign up for a “1kW equivalent contract (10A or 1kVA)” which allows usage of up to 250kWh for a fixed monthly price of 6,170 yen. They can also sign up for multiple contracts. For example, a 3kW contract will allow them to use up to 750kWh. Overages are charged at the rate of 22 yen per 1kWh.
According to an estimate by IT Media, the monthly cost of electricity for the 3kW contract is 16.9% less than what TEPCO would charge for a similar service.
Japan Embracing Bitcoin Mining
Japanese companies are increasingly embracing bitcoin mining, with a growing number of corporations entering the space. Last month, GMOInternet announced its bitcoin mining and ASIC chip manufacturing plans. The company is investing 10 billion yen to build its mining farm in Scandinavia.
Japanese Renewable Energy Provider Offers Low Flat-Rate Electricity for Crypto MinersAnother Japanese conglomerate, DMMGroup, announced in the same month that it “will operate a mass-scale, made-in-Japan quality mining farm whose operating size will be unmatched by any of the domestic operators.” According to Nikkei, DMM is also planning a 10 billion yen capital investment into its mining business.
Last week, the publication also reported on two more large companies, SBI Holdings and Monex Group, starting their own bitcoin mining operations.
Looop Director and President Shoichiro Nakamura emphasized how bitcoin mining uses a lot of electricity. He was quoted by IT Media as saying:
The high cost of electricity is a bottleneck in Japan, which makes it difficult for mining to penetrate [the market]…I would like to support domestic mining companies by offering this pricing plan.
Meanwhile, Japanese consumers can also pay their electricity bills using bitcoin. Energy retailer Remixpoint, the parent company of the bitcoin exchange Bitpoint, recently started accepting bitcoin payments for its low-voltage electricity services as well as offering discounts for customers paying with bitcoin.
What do you think of this flat rate electricity plan for miners? Do you think more Japanese will start mining bitcoin? Let us know in the comments section below.

This is a teaching resource video used to demonstrate the difference in depth and moisture content of fossil fuels; especially the different forms of coal including coke with is tried to add to iron to make steel. I also mention that coal is the predominant fossil fuel mined (often in open cut mines) in Australia with the exception of crude oil (petroleum) in bass straight near Tasmania. This specifically addresses outcomes taught to year 9 high school science students as part of the CoreScience 3 text book. I also mention the difference between renewable and non renewable resources.

The U.S.Bureau of Land Management has issued an historic and far-reaching decision balancing conservation with renewable energy development across a vast swath of the California desert. It's called the DesertRenewable EnergyConservation Plan, or DRECP, and will permanently protect significant areas of public lands in the California desert—including the Silurian Valley, Mayan Peak, and Chuckwalla Bench.
The plan also identifies certain areas of public lands in the desert that will be available for potential renewable energy development.

*TRANSCRIPT*
Text: The Bureau of Land Management has issued an historic and far-reaching decision balancing conservation with renewable energy development across a vast swath of the California desert. It’s called the Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan, or DRECP.
PATRICK DONNELLY of the Amargosa Conservancy: “The DRECP is considered by many as a solar development plan but it also has really substantial conservation provisions in it, specifically designating NationalConservationLands. The planners of the DRECP recognized what a unique area Amargosa is; almost every acre of public land in the Amargosa region is proposed as NCL. This will help protect our critical resources, in particular places like Tacopa Marsh that provide habitat for endangered species that thrive in our area. Conservation designations under the DRECP are the single most important conservation objective that we are pursuing here in the Amargosa.
FRAZIER HANEY of the Mojave DesertLandTrust: “One of the conservation vehicles in the DRECP for public lands is to include those conserved lands inside of the National Conservation Lands. These are nationally significant lands across the West, that our national monuments, our wilderness areas, our wilderness study areas. The DRECP would include these treasured places inside of that system of national lands.
The National Conservation Land designation in the DRECP would take advantage of this opportunity that we have to protect an entire ecosystem. And, if we get it right by protecting these conservation lands, these amazing places, we protect the wildlife corridor between the Mojave and the Sonoran populations of desert tortoise. We protect key corridors for the movement of bighorn sheep. We are protecting watersheds, we protect spring sources, that all the wildlife in the desert depend on. We are protecting some of the areas that we know are critical for wildlife and the survival of wildlife that don’t have an existing layer of protection right now. When we think about the DRECP and the National Conservation Lands, we are really finishing the work that was started in 1976 by Congress when they said that the California desert was easily scared and slowly heals.
TEXT: Thank you, BLM, for directing future renewable energy projects to less sensitive areas while conserving wild places and protecting the desert’s iconic wildlife. We look forward to you ensuring these protected areas are also made off-limits to industrial mining.

Plan for old mine sites to be transformed into renewable energy resources

Keywords/phrases: Do you see the 14 nanometre limit of transistors as a good thing for decentralization? There's been an enormous increase in the hashing capacity of the Bitcoin network and now it's slammed into Moore's Wall.It's a very good thing because it extends the shelf-life of mining equipment from 2-3 months to almost 2 years. Until now, the determinant of success in mining was how many kilometres you were from the semiconductor fabrication lab and how fast you could hook it up to 50 megawatts of electricity. With a 2-year shelf-life, you can re-decentralize mining. Renewable energy with cycles of demand, using extra megawatt hours with low consumption that would be lost anyway to mine bitcoin. Bitcoin is a battery on a virtual blockchain.

Panel Discussion - Financing Renewable Energy Projects for Mines

‘Concordia‘, a former coal mine, which now exists as the ‘Maciej‘ Shaft, an industrial monument of mining technology and a tourist attraction, is an example of revitalisation making use of renewable energy sources. After the hard coal deposits had run out, the mining shaft was converted into a deep water well to pump water at a temperature of about 8°C, and now serves as a ground source heat pump to provide heating, domestic hot water and cooling for a bar, a restaurant, and an office.
The heart of the heating and cooling system is engineered from two state-of-the-art Danfoss DHP-R heat pumps, each with a 42 kW heating capacity.

JapaneseRenewable EnergyProviderOffers Low Flat-Rate Electricity for Crypto Miners
Japanese renewable energy provider, Looop, has announced an electricity plan aimed at reducing costs for bitcoin and other cryptocurrency miners. The plan charges a flat monthly fee for electricity usage of up to a certain level in the Tokyo Electric Power Company service area.

A Flat Electricity Rate for Crypto Miners
Japanese Renewable Energy Provider Offers Low Flat-Rate Electricity for Crypto MinersLooop Co. Ltd is a Tokyo-based renewable energy provider that offers natural energy products and services as well as retail electricity services. The company “was born from the volunteer activity to set up photovoltaic power in the affected area of the Great East Japan Earthquake,” its website describes. The company began operations in March 2011 with the development of “a photovoltaic power plant that can be installed by ourselves.” Other products offered include solar, wind, biomass, hydroelectric, and geothermal power systems.
Japanese Renewable Energy Provider Offers Low Flat-Rate Electricity for Crypto Miners
One of Looop’s PowerKits.
Following the liberalization of Japan’s retail power market in April 2016, Looop entered the retail electricity market. Over 55,000 Japanese households now use Looop’s electricity services, according to IT Media.
The company recently announced a new electricity plan which is tailored to cryptocurrency miners in the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) service area. Looop calls it the “Mining Flat” rate plan. Customers can start applying for this new service this month.
Japanese Renewable Energy Provider Offers Low Flat-Rate Electricity for Crypto MinersLooop explained that customers can sign up for a “1kW equivalent contract (10A or 1kVA)” which allows usage of up to 250kWh for a fixed monthly price of 6,170 yen. They can also sign up for multiple contracts. For example, a 3kW contract will allow them to use up to 750kWh. Overages are charged at the rate of 22 yen per 1kWh.
According to an estimate by IT Media, the monthly cost of electricity for the 3kW contract is 16.9% less than what TEPCO would charge for a similar service.
Japan Embracing Bitcoin Mining
Japanese companies are increasingly embracing bitcoin mining, with a growing number of corporations entering the space. Last month, GMOInternet announced its bitcoin mining and ASIC chip manufacturing plans. The company is investing 10 billion yen to build its mining farm in Scandinavia.
Japanese Renewable Energy Provider Offers Low Flat-Rate Electricity for Crypto MinersAnother Japanese conglomerate, DMMGroup, announced in the same month that it “will operate a mass-scale, made-in-Japan quality mining farm whose operating size will be unmatched by any of the domestic operators.” According to Nikkei, DMM is also planning a 10 billion yen capital investment into its mining business.
Last week, the publication also reported on two more large companies, SBI Holdings and Monex Group, starting their own bitcoin mining operations.
Looop Director and President Shoichiro Nakamura emphasized how bitcoin mining uses a lot of electricity. He was quoted by IT Media as saying:
The high cost of electricity is a bottleneck in Japan, which makes it difficult for mining to penetrate [the market]…I would like to support domestic mining companies by offering this pricing plan.
Meanwhile, Japanese consumers can also pay their electricity bills using bitcoin. Energy retailer Remixpoint, the parent company of the bitcoin exchange Bitpoint, recently started accepting bitcoin payments for its low-voltage electricity services as well as offering discounts for customers paying with bitcoin.
What do you think of this flat rate electricity plan for miners? Do you think more Japanese will start mining bitcoin? Let us know in the comments section below.

Renewable Energy - NEW+ Science Documentary 2015 HD

Technology (from Greek τέχνη, techne, "art, skill, cunning of hand"; and -λογία, -logia[3]) is the collection of techniques, methods or processes used in the production of goods or services
or in the accomplishment of objectives, such as scientific investigation. Technology can be the knowledge of techniques, processes, etc. or it can be embedded in machines, computers, devices and
factories, which can be operated by individuals without detailed knowledge of the workings of such things.
The human species' use of technology began with the conversion of natural resources into simple tools. The prehistoric discovery of how to control fire increased the available sources of food and
the invention of the wheel helped humans in travelling in and controlling their environment. Recent technolo...

Geological aspects of renewable energy

November's ShellLondon lecture, delivered by Bruce Levell (Shell) at the Geological Society on 14 November2012.
Moving to a lower carbon energy system and, over time, displacing fossil fuels with renewable energy will involve new challenges for geologists.
In this talk we will explore these challenges. Below ground geothermal energy is an obvious example: High grade for converting to power, low grade for space heating and shallow for seasonal storage and heat pumping. Underground energy storage, for example hydrogen in salt caverns, may be a more effective and flexible solution than batteries to the challenges of matching renewables' intermittent supply with demand.
Less obviously the siting of renewable energy projects from hydro electric power or storage to wind farms, both onshore ...

Discovery 13: Mining Innovation Panel

Hardrock mining in Canada entails formidable challenges, but overcoming them through innovation would produce high-grade rewards. The high cost and availability of energy, geotechnical risk and stability, materials handling for both ore and backfill, and productivity levels in underground mines are all issues that are only exacerbated by remote locations far removed from established power and transportation infrastructure and excavation depths of up to 2.5 km.
This Discovery 13 panel explores the potential for innovative solutions in Ontario that can open up global markets at a time when the demand for metals worldwide continues to escalate.

Coal Mines: Half Of Our Electric Power

Coal mining is the process of extracting coal from the ground. Coal is valued for its energy content, and, since the 1880s, has been widely used to generate electricity. Steel and cement industries use coal as a fuel for extraction of iron from iron ore and for cement production. In theUnited Kingdom and South Africa a coal mine and its structures are a colliery; a coal mine a pit; the above-ground structures the pit head. In Australia, "colliery" generally refers to an underground coal mine. In the United States "colliery" has been used to describe a coal mine operation but nowadays the word is not commonly used.
Coal mining has had many developments over the recent years, from the early days of men tunnelling, digging and manually extracting the coal on carts, to large open cut and lon...

The race to space - (VPRO documentary - 2015)

The colonization of space has only just begun. Numerous parties have great ambitions to explore outer space for tourism, transportation and raw materials. It’s a race, and slowly but surely it’s becoming clear that there is a need for clear rules concerning the entering and use of this space. Space lawyer Frans von der Dunk is currently one of the few people in the world who is trying to shed some light on this.
On a sunny morning in 1889, hundreds of covered wagons were ready to start a race. Under the motto ‘first come, first served’, settlers could claim their own piece of land.

Renewable Energy - NEW+ Science Documentary 2015 HD

Technology (from Greek τέχνη, techne, "art, skill, cunning of hand"; and -λογία, -logia[3]) is the collection of techniques, methods or processes used in the production of goods or services
or in the accomplishment of objectives, such as scientific investigation. Technology can be the knowledge of techniques, processes, etc. or it can be embedded in machines, computers, devices and
factories, which can be operated by individuals without detailed knowledge of the workings of such things.
The human species' use of technology began with the conversion of natural resources into simple tools. The prehistoric discovery of how to control fire increased the available sources of food and
the invention of the wheel helped humans in travelling in and controlling their environment. Recent technological developments, including the printing press, the telephone, and the Internet, have
lessened physical barriers to communication and allowed humans to interact freely on a global scale. However, not all technology has been used for peaceful purposes; the development of weapons of
ever-increasing destructive power has progressed throughout history, from clubs to nuclear weapons.
Technology has affected society and its surroundings in a number of ways. In many societies, technology has helped develop more advanced economies (including today's global economy) and has
allowed the rise of a leisure class. Many technological processes produce unwanted by-products, known as pollution, and deplete natural resources, to the detriment of Earth's environment. Various
implementations of technology influence the values of a society and new technology often raises new ethical questions. Examples include the rise of the notion of efficiency in terms of human
productivity, a term originally applied only to machines, and the challenge of traditional norms.
Philosophical debates have arisen over the present and future use of technology in society, with disagreements over whether technology improves the human condition or worsens it. Neo-Luddism,
anarcho-primitivism, and similar movements criticise the pervasiveness of technology in the modern world, opining that it harms the environment and alienates people; proponents of ideologies
such as transhumanism and techno-progressivism view continued technological progress as beneficial to society and the human condition. Indeed, until recently, it was believed that the development
of technology was restricted only to human beings, but recent scientific studies indicate that other primates and certain dolphin communities have developed simple tools and learned to pass their
knowledge to other generations.

November's ShellLondon lecture, delivered by Bruce Levell (Shell) at the Geological Society on 14 November2012.
Moving to a lower carbon energy system and, over time, displacing fossil fuels with renewable energy will involve new challenges for geologists.
In this talk we will explore these challenges. Below ground geothermal energy is an obvious example: High grade for converting to power, low grade for space heating and shallow for seasonal storage and heat pumping. Underground energy storage, for example hydrogen in salt caverns, may be a more effective and flexible solution than batteries to the challenges of matching renewables' intermittent supply with demand.
Less obviously the siting of renewable energy projects from hydro electric power or storage to wind farms, both onshore and offshore, is based fundamentally on conditions created by geology.
Last but not least, the new resources required to manufacture the energy conversion equipment needed to supply renewable energy on a global scale will place new demands across the periodic table for resources which already is beginning to constrain and shape the commercial solutions.

Coal mining is the process of extracting coal from the ground. Coal is valued for its energy content, and, since the 1880s, has been widely used to generate electricity. Steel and cement industries use coal as a fuel for extraction of iron from iron ore and for cement production. In theUnited Kingdom and South Africa a coal mine and its structures are a colliery; a coal mine a pit; the above-ground structures the pit head. In Australia, "colliery" generally refers to an underground coal mine. In the United States "colliery" has been used to describe a coal mine operation but nowadays the word is not commonly used.
Coal mining has had many developments over the recent years, from the early days of men tunnelling, digging and manually extracting the coal on carts, to large open cut and long wall mines. Mining at this scale requires the use of draglines, trucks, conveyors, hydraulic jacks and shearers.

As the dangers of global climate change multiply, utility companies seek methods to reduce carbon emissions, such as integrating renewable and sustainable energy sources like wind, solar, and hydroelectric power. Renewable energy not only has the power to improve climate conditions, it also encourages economic growth. By combining advances in sensor technology with machine learning algorithms and environmental data, utility companies can monitor energy sources in real time to make faster decisions and speed innovation. In this session, Nikita Shamgunov, CTO and co-founder of MemSQL, will conduct a live demonstration based on real-time data from 2 million sensors on 197,000 wind turbines installed on wind farms around the world. This Internet of Things (IoT) simulation explores the ways utility companies can integrate new data pipelines into established infrastructure. Attendees will learn how to deploy this breakthrough technology composed of Apache Kafka, a real-time message queue; Streamliner, an integrated Apache Spark solution; MemSQL Ops, a cluster management and monitoring interface; and a set of simulated data producers written in Python. By applying machine learning to analyze millions of data points in real time, the data pipeline predicts and visualizes health of wind farms at global scale. This architecture propels innovation in the energy industry and is replicable across other IoT applications including smart cities, connected cars, and digital healthcare.

Keywords/phrases: Do you see the 14 nanometre limit of transistors as a good thing for decentralization? There's been an enormous increase in the hashing capacity of the Bitcoin network and now it's slammed into Moore's Wall.It's a very good thing because it extends the shelf-life of mining equipment from 2-3 months to almost 2 years. Until now, the determinant of success in mining was how many kilometres you were from the semiconductor fabrication lab and how fast you could hook it up to 50 megawatts of electricity. With a 2-year shelf-life, you can re-decentralize mining. Renewable energy with cycles of demand, using extra megawatt hours with low consumption that would be lost anyway to mine bitcoin. Bitcoin is a battery on a virtual blockchain.

A Flat Electricity Rate for Crypto Miners
Japanese Renewable Energy Provider Offers Low Flat-Rate Electricity for Crypto MinersLooop Co. Ltd is a Tokyo-based renewable energy provider that offers natural energy products and services as well as retail electricity services. The company “was born from the volunteer activity to set up photovoltaic power in the affected area of the Great East Japan Earthquake,” its website describes. The company began operations in March 2011 with the development of “a photovoltaic power plant that can be installed by ourselves.” Other products offered include solar, wind, biomass, hydroelectric, and geothermal power systems.

One of Looop’s PowerKits.
Following the liberalization of Japan’s retail power market in April 2016, Looop entered the retail electricity market. Over 55,000 Japanese households now use Looop’s electricity services, according to IT Media.
The company recently announced a new electricity plan which is tailored to cryptocurrency miners in the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) service area. Looop calls it the “Mining Flat” rate plan. Customers can start applying for this new service this month.
Japanese Renewable Energy Provider Offers Low Flat-Rate Electricity for Crypto MinersLooop explained that customers can sign up for a “1kW equivalent contract (10A or 1kVA)” which allows usage of up to 250kWh for a fixed monthly price of 6,170 yen. They can also sign up for multiple contracts. For example, a 3kW contract will allow them to use up to 750kWh. Overages are charged at the rate of 22 yen per 1kWh.
According to an estimate by IT Media, the monthly cost of electricity for the 3kW contract is 16.9% less than what TEPCO would charge for a similar service.
Japan Embracing Bitcoin Mining
Japanese companies are increasingly embracing bitcoin mining, with a growing number of corporations entering the space. Last month, GMOInternet announced its bitcoin mining and ASIC chip manufacturing plans. The company is investing 10 billion yen to build its mining farm in Scandinavia.
Japanese Renewable Energy Provider Offers Low Flat-Rate Electricity for Crypto MinersAnother Japanese conglomerate, DMMGroup, announced in the same month that it “will operate a mass-scale, made-in-Japan quality mining farm whose operating size will be unmatched by any of the domestic operators.” According to Nikkei, DMM is also planning a 10 billion yen capital investment into its mining business.
Last week, the publication also reported on two more large companies, SBI Holdings and Monex Group, starting their own bitcoin mining operations.
Looop Director and President Shoichiro Nakamura emphasized how bitcoin mining uses a lot of electricity. He was quoted by IT Media as saying:
The high cost of electricity is a bottleneck in Japan, which makes it difficult for mining to penetrate [the market]…I would like to support domestic mining companies by offering this pricing plan.
Meanwhile, Japanese consumers can also pay their electricity bills using bitcoin. Energy retailer Remixpoint, the parent company of the bitcoin exchange Bitpoint, recently started accepting bitcoin payments for its low-voltage electricity services as well as offering discounts for customers paying with bitcoin.

California Desert to be Protected by Renewable Energy Plan

The U.S.Bureau of Land Management has issued an historic and far-reaching decision balancing conservation with renewable energy development across a vast swath of the California desert. It's called the DesertRenewable EnergyConservation Plan, or DRECP, and will permanently protect significant areas of public lands in the California desert—including the Silurian Valley, Mayan Peak, and Chuckwalla Bench.
The plan also identifies certain areas of public lands in the desert that will be available for potential renewable energy development.
Read more about the Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan at: http://pew.org/2cKRLUb
*TRANSCRIPT*
Text: The Bureau of Land Management has issued an historic and far-reaching decision balancing conservation with renewable energy development across a vast swath of the California desert. It’s called the Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan, or DRECP.
PATRICK DONNELLY of the Amargosa Conservancy: “The DRECP is considered by many as a solar development plan but it also has really substantial conservation provisions in it, specifically designating NationalConservationLands. The planners of the DRECP recognized what a unique area Amargosa is; almost every acre of public land in the Amargosa region is proposed as NCL. This will help protect our critical resources, in particular places like Tacopa Marsh that provide habitat for endangered species that thrive in our area. Conservation designations under the DRECP are the single most important conservation objective that we are pursuing here in the Amargosa.
FRAZIER HANEY of the Mojave DesertLandTrust: “One of the conservation vehicles in the DRECP for public lands is to include those conserved lands inside of the National Conservation Lands. These are nationally significant lands across the West, that our national monuments, our wilderness areas, our wilderness study areas. The DRECP would include these treasured places inside of that system of national lands.
The National Conservation Land designation in the DRECP would take advantage of this opportunity that we have to protect an entire ecosystem. And, if we get it right by protecting these conservation lands, these amazing places, we protect the wildlife corridor between the Mojave and the Sonoran populations of desert tortoise. We protect key corridors for the movement of bighorn sheep. We are protecting watersheds, we protect spring sources, that all the wildlife in the desert depend on. We are protecting some of the areas that we know are critical for wildlife and the survival of wildlife that don’t have an existing layer of protection right now. When we think about the DRECP and the National Conservation Lands, we are really finishing the work that was started in 1976 by Congress when they said that the California desert was easily scared and slowly heals.
TEXT: Thank you, BLM, for directing future renewable energy projects to less sensitive areas while conserving wild places and protecting the desert’s iconic wildlife. We look forward to you ensuring these protected areas are also made off-limits to industrial mining.
